translated from Spanish: They’re looking for a missing woman in La Boca who had reported her partner

Maria Esther Brianthe is an 18-year-old girl who has been searched intensely by police for eight days since she despised her home in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of La Boca.

The woman, the mother of a seven-month-old baby, had reported her partner for gender-based violence days before her disappearance. The last trace of her dates back to March 30th. Maria Esther’s mother, Paola Rojas, told Télam that her daughter disappeared without taking her baby or any of her belongings. “I don’t conceive that my daughter had left the house without taking the baby,” she said.

The young woman is from the province of Río Negro but moved to Buenos Aires with her father two years ago, where she met her current partner, 35 years old. The mother recounted that after not being able to contact her daughter by no means she received a call from her daughter’s partner warning her that “the young woman had left home and that she had not taken her baby or any of her belongings,” Télam said.

After that episode, Rojas asked the man to go make the complaint but Rojas replied that they did not want to take it at the police station. He also claimed that he received threats from the mother of his daughter’s partner. Maria Esther Brianthe is 18 years old, 1.60 meters tall, thin-framed, white-skinned and brown-eyed. Any information contact line 144.
